Understanding value in Maple Ridge starts with understanding how the community is built. Homes here are not uniform resales—Maple Ridge is a new-construction community where pricing begins at a base model and increases materially based on structural upgrades, lot premiums, and design selections. This residence represents one of the most extensively upgraded offerings in the neighborhood. Purchased new in 2023 at $952,493, the home has never been lived in and has been meticulously maintained since completion. A professional staff services the property regularly, including interior cleaning, pool maintenance, exterior care, and power washing, resulting in a pristine, like-new condition throughout. The home includes over $200,000 in builder upgrades, most notably a $150,000+ custom, pool and spa package that immediately places the property in a different value tier than base-model homes. The pool is a defining differentiator, featuring a spa and sun ledge, travertine decking, upgraded pavers, full screen enclosure, fencing, and a lakefront orientation. This level of outdoor investment cannot be replicated today anywhere near its original cost. Beyond the pool, the home features extensive interior upgrades throughout, including upgraded flooring, cabinetry, finishes, a contemporary cable-railed staircase, built-in audio, and an open-concept layout designed well beyond builder standards. Plumbing and electrical are already in place for a future summer kitchen, offering additional flexibility and long-term value. The floor plan itself is also a premium factor. This is the largest model offered in Maple Ridge, providing over 5,000 total square feet, a 3-car garage, walk-in closets in every bedroom, a spacious loft, and a first-floor en-suite bedroom with private exterior access—ideal for guests or multigenerational living. When reviewing comparable sales within the community, buyers will notice that homes of similar size have sold across a wide range of prices. That variation reflects differences in upgrade levels, pool installations, and lot positioning—not just square footage. This property should be evaluated accordingly. Located in the Maple Ridge neighborhood of Ave Maria, residents enjoy a master-planned setting with resort-style amenities, trails, shopping, dining, and convenient access to Naples and I-75. This home offers a rare combination of the largest floor plan, substantial builder upgrades, a high-investment pool installation, and true move-in-ready condition, supporting its current positioning within the community.
